2006 Lincoln LS Review
Lincoln LS shares a rear-wheel-drive platform with the British-built S-Type from Ford-subsidiary Jaguar, but differs in styling and equipment. Only a V8 Sport model returns for 2006. It comes with a 280-hp V8, 5-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift capability, ABS, and traction control. Front side airbags are also standard. Curtain side airbags are available, as is an antiskid system. Other options include heated/cooled front seats, heated rear seat, navigation system, power-adjustable pedals, and xenon headlamps. Lincoln now offers a smaller, less-expensive midsize sedan in the front-wheel-drive Zephyr. Production of the LS is scheduled to end during the '06 model year.
